Description

"Here the nose is noticeably more reserved and while ripe, the
dense, gorgeously complex and highly spiced aromas are rather cool.
Aggressive swirling does, if only grudgingly, liberate the notes of
violets and rose petals, hoisin, soy and clove along with black
pinot fruit, cassis and plum. The exceptionally rich but brooding,
intense and very serious broad-shouldered flavors possess
outstanding middle-weight concentration before culminating in an
energetic and palate staining finish. This stunningly long effort
is also quite fine by the usual standards of the appellation
because while this is certainly muscular, it's taut and sleek
rather than forbidding." (93 pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound #49,
Jan. 2013)
